Hello All, I am searching for a way to open a File Dialog using gui.GeDialog in R16. I want to have the user be able to browse to a file and select it. Then I use that file path to do some other stuff. I can't seem to figure it out or find it in the python docs. Maybe I am not searching the proper name for it.

Hello,
you can create this custom GUI element using AddCustomGui() with the ID of CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME. You find an example how to do that in this thread:

Hello Sebastian thanks so much for the quick response! Sorry for the repeated question I could not find that thread in a search. I will also be sure to keep my eye on the c++ documentation because the Python docs do no show everything like the missing CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME.
Thank you,

Due to my lack of C++ knowledge, how do I implement the FILENAME_DIRECTORY or FILENAME_SAVE definitions? in Python? I want to open a directory path and not a file.
Thanks so much!

Hello I figured it out, sorry for that. I guess you can change the Settings in the baseContainer.
settings = c4d.BaseContainer() # Create Base Container
settings.SetBool(c4d.FILENAME_SAVE, True) #Change settings
self.AddCustomGui(MY_FILENAME, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME,"",c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT,0,0,settings)
